his steam mill at Sebago Lake Station. The
Portland Star Match Co. have nearly lO, 900
feet of pine in Lake Sebsgo and its tributa-

the lake.

5OO, 900 feet of pine, for the New England

business at their mill. The mill-pond is COW
cred with logs, and numerous huge giles of
sawed lumber indicate that much work has

perfection.

water company has set up on Main street two
stand pipes to supply the sprinkler. One
west side of the Mall front of Everett street,
the rther in front of the Main street Baptist
church The pipes have all been laid into
the Pine Grove Cemetery, and the water on
Tuesday was in full supply on the avenues
good deal of work is under way on the
grounds, and the tendency is to keep them
in better condition than formerly. The large
machines in the Pulp mill, which has been
lying idle for three years, we should say, is
again running on card stock, of light weight.

water, bat was then shut down and started
up again a few days ago.

The cottages which the Mount Desert
Hotel Company. of Bangor are to build and
run in connection with the Bluffs, at Mount
Desert Ferry, are to be situated behind the
hotel. They will be arranged nearly in a
circle, similar in plan, varying enough to
prevent unpieasing uniformity, two-storied,
with oriel windows, balconies, open and COW
cred verandas, and will contain seven or
eight rooms so planned that a family can en-
joy, at least indoors. much of home privacy,
taking their meals at the hotel. They are
built with tank and tower above, so that the
| cottages as well as the house can have plenty
of good water.

Stephen Chase & Co. of Rockland, wholesale
| dealers in fish. have made an important move
! ment IN their business, by leasing four

and increasing affairs in Abe metropolis.
Shipments are made from Rockland daily BY
the firm, and the fish was laid down in New
York, ready for the consumer. perfectly fresh
and nice. With the better facilities afforded
I by the new quarters, the firm will no doubt
be able to enlarge their business yet more.
